from Project MUSE:

Project MUSE is pleased to announce that 2009 MARC records are now available for each of MUSE's six collections. The record sets are full level description in the MARC21 format and include Library of Congress (LC) subject headings. Each collection's record set includes journals launched as of the beginning of the current subscription year. Updates to the record sets are added periodically during the year as new journals are launched. You may sign up to receive an email when the updated records are available.

The MUSE MARC records are available for downloading from the MUSE website. The records are offered to subscribing institutions at no charge. The record sets include all journals in a collection including those that are no longer contributing new issues to MUSE. Even though a journal does not contribute new issues to MUSE, all previously launched issues of that journal remain online and accessible to subscribers.

Additional details, instructions for downloading, and a link to sign up for email notification of updated records are found on the MUSE MARC Records page:

http://muse.jhu.edu/about/librarians/marc_records.html

Questions about MUSE MARC records may be sent to muse@press.jhu.edu.

from Project MUSE:

Project MUSE is pleased to announce the addition of a new search feature that quickly connects users to more articles by an author. Look for the new 'More By' feature on each article. The 'More By' feature appears for each author listed as contributing to the article. Users can simply click on the linked author name to find additional articles in MUSE by the author.

In addition to providing quick access to more MUSE articles by the author, MUSE expanded the search to include links to more works by the author in Google Scholar and OCLC WorldCat. Google Scholar indexes peer-reviewed articles, books, theses, papers and abstracts from a wide variety of sources across many disciplines. Linking to the author's works in WorldCat using the 'Find in a library' link adds depth to a user's research, as the WorldCat record provides information about access to all formats of the author's work. WorldCat allows users to search the collections of libraries in their communities, as well as many others around the world, for both physical items and digital content.

For the July 1, 2009 – June 30, 2010 subscription period, Oxford University Press has announced that there will be no price increases. So, pricing for all 2009 - 10 subscriptions will be calculated using the 08-09 pricing models.

Also, OUP is offering a promotion for NEW subscription orders. For customers wanting to add NEW online resources (excluding law products), OUP will charge the 12-month price but access will begin immediately. So, depending on when you place your order, you will get either 15, 14, or 13 months of access for the price of 12 months (all subscriptions will run through 6/30/2010).

Minitex has not started the OUP renewal process yet (if all goes as planned, this will start in late April). However, we thought it best to give advance notice of OUP’s promotion for new subscriptions.

If you would like a trial, pricing, or have any questions or comments, please contact CPERS.

from OCLC:

OCLC welcomes Project MUSE to the growing list WorldCat partners. MUSE chose WorldCat to help connect its users to more articles by an author through a new discovery feature called ‘More By,’ which appears on each article display within Project MUSE. Users simply click on the linked contributing author name to find additional articles in MUSE, WorldCat.org and Google Scholar.

Partnering with WorldCat means that Project MUSE users can now connect to the author’s works in libraries, through WorldCat’s distinctive “Find in a library” link. Melanie Schaffner, Marketing and Sales Manager for Project MUSE, explains that, “Including a link to WorldCat adds depth to a user’s research, as the WorldCat record provides information about access to all formats of the author’s work. WorldCat allows users to search the collections of libraries in their communities, as well as many others around the world, for both physical items and digital content.”

Managed by the Johns Hopkins University Press, Project MUSE represents a unique collaboration between libraries and publishers to provide an online source for full-text access to more than 400 prestigious humanities and social sciences journals.

The Minitex CPERS eHRAF (e Human Relations Area FIles) group renews soon; the subscription period is July 1 through June 31. If you've been curious about this resource, now's the time to trial it; HRAF is offering a free semester-long trial.

From Yale HRAF:

Dear Member Institutions of the MINITEX consortium:

Human Relations Area Files (HRAF), a non-profit research organization at Yale University, would like to invite your institution to a free semester-long trial for its eHRAF World Cultures/Archaeology databases. The eHRAF databases are ideal for research and teaching, especially for those researching either individual societies or conducting cross-cultural studies on particular subjects. Please call Christiane Cunnar (HRAF Member Services) at 203-764-9401 or email christiane.cunnar@yale.edu to indicate whether you would like a password trial or an IP authenticated trial.

In the past eHRAF World Cultures in microfiche format was considered a primarily "anthropological" resource. However, the electronic format has made eHRAF a truly multi-disciplinary resource. In recent years, an increasing number of faculty and students have used eHRAF for cross-cultural studies in medicine, psychology, sociology, and other disciplines that require an understanding of the world's cultures.

In considering the eHRAF World Cultures/Archaeology databases, please note the following features:

• Full-text materials on all aspects of cultural and social life


• Ideal for cross-cultural studies (e.g., food processing, ethnobotany, causes of illness)


• Over 50 years of academic materials and quality data


• Unique culture and subject indexing at the paragraph-level


• A cultural heritage database including many time periods for cultures and ethnic groups


• 500,000 pages of indexed ethnographic materials


• Ideal for teaching at on- and off-campus locations


• Multi-cultural and -disciplinary databases

HRAF Services:

• Affordable consortium membership dues


• Unlimited on and off-campus access


• Free eHRAF database training for librarians, faculty, and students


• Extensive database support for users by HRAF staff


• Online teaching suggestions for faculty

Affordable consortium membership is now available. For more membership information contact Christiane Cunnar.

Sincerely,

Christiane Cunnar

from EBSCO:

EBSCO's Customer Care team has recently received inquiries about the behavior of the EBSCO A-to-Z list when adding or removing certain titles in their collection. In order to help you better manage your A-to-Z collection, we would like to clarify how to add or remove individual titles that are part of a “complete package”.

When you purchase a “complete package”, you automatically receive access to all of the titles within that package. On the A-to-Z Administrator site, titles within complete packages are indicated by a completely shaded circle icon on the Title Wizard and Collection Editor. In the past, however, some customers attempted to add individual titles within a complete package to A-to-Z by selecting the check box next to the title on the Title Wizard’s Individual Title Selection page. Within a few days, the entire package was added to their A-to-Z collection automatically. This occurs because A-to-Z is designed to recognize complete packages and add the appropriate titles to the A-to-Z collection, ensuring that the institution has access to all subscribed package content.

In order to simplify this process and eliminate confusion, an enhancement was recently introduced to A-to-Z. As of Tuesday, 3 March 2009, the check boxes next to individual titles within a complete package on the Individual Title Selection page have been deactivated.

If you purchased the individual title separate from a package, there is often a more appropriate record for it on the Individual Title Selection page. The correct record is often part of a “Complete or Selected titles” package (which displays with a partially shaded circle icon), a “Selected titles” package (a circle icon with no shading), or even a title that does not have an icon and is instead denoted as “Publisher Site”. However, if you are certain that the title within the complete package is the correct record, you can still add it to your A-to-Z collection manually. To do so, you must add the individual title through the download and upload process to ensure that A-to-Z properly maintains the link and coverage information. Click here for a detailed tutorial on how to download and upload in A-to-Z.

Similarly, if you wish to remove an individual title within a complete package from your A-to-Z list, you must use one of the following methods:

• Delete the title through the download and upload process.
• “Hide” the title from your A-to-Z list:
  • From the Collection Editor, locate the corresponding vendor name and click the plus sign to the left to display the list of packages from that vendor in your collection
  • Click the package name in the left-side panel.
  • At the bottom of the right-side information panel, click the Show Titles link, then click the appropriate title name in the list that appears.
  • In the window that appears, click the check box next to “Do not display this resource on the End User Site.”
  • Click Save.
  • The resource will be immediately hidden from the Reader site. Though the title is hidden, it will still be included in your Unique Title Count.

While the Individual Title Selection page cannot be used to add or remove complete package titles, it is an excellent tool to use when adding individual titles for all other types of packages and resources.

Questions?Contact EBSCO Customer Care at 1-877-327-2622 (U.S.A. and Canada) or +1-205-981-4000 (Worldwide), Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. - 5 p.m., CT (13:00 - 23:00 GMT). Email: customercare@ebsco.com. Context-sensitive help pages are also available to assist you. For more in-depth training, classes are available via http://training.ebsco.com.
